February 23, 2018

Submitted by the Domestic Violence Service Network

The bi-annual Volunteer Advocate Training program sponsored by the Domestic Violence Services Network, Inc. (DVSN) at the Concord Police Department will take place from March 13 through March 31, 2018. This 40-hour training session takes place over a 3-week period on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:30 – 9:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

Those interested in more information and/or want to request an application should call (978) 318-3421 or send an e-mail to [email protected]. Applications are due no later than Monday, March 5, 2018.

Once trained, DVSN’s volunteer Advocates provide direct service over the phone, at the Concord District Court, and at Emerson Hospital to people affected by domestic violence. The 40-hour training is designed to familiarize the volunteers with the many aspects of domestic violence and give them the skills necessary to provide confidential and appropriate services to DVSN’s clients.
